Apr 2014

is by definition working blindly for Putin (who is Hitler!) and helping him exterminate Ukrainians, gays and Jews. At least, that is the logic of the State Department's partisans on Democratic Underground. In any case, to wait for the actual confirmation on any claim that attacks Russia and stokes the new Cold War is to be a premature factualist. As soon as any claim against Russia is made, you must first be appalled and engage in the two minutes hate, or else you are working blindly for Putin... (continue as above) If it later gets refuted, it's important to ignore that or to argue that even if the claim was untrue, it could have been true because the main thing is that Putin is Hitler and not believing all propaganda claims against him is to follow him blindly and help him to exterminate (etc. etc.) There's a new Hitler and you've got to get on board with the rhetoric or be thrown under the bus.
